Charlotte Regional Partnership

Founded in 1992, the Charlotte Regional Partnership is a nonprofit, private/public organization dedicated to the planned growth and prosperity of the Charlotte region. Roughly the size of the state of Massachusetts, their region includes 16 counties - 12 in North Carolina and 4 in South Carolina. Together they are Charlotte USA.

The organization brings together government and local businesses to market and promote Charlotte USA as a highly competitive, vibrant region with an increasingly attractive quality of life and a high demand workforce.

By embracing the core belief that there is strength in unity, the community and business leaders of Charlotte USA continue to work together to reinforce the powerful concept of "regionalism" by partnering with Workforce Development Boards, including the Centralina Workforce Development Board, throughout the region. Without a doubt, regionalism is the most effective strategy for global "city-regions" like ours to grow and prosper in the 21st century world economy. As a result, it has become the driving force behind everything we do. Learn what’s new at the Charlotte Regional Partnership
